Minigunner-d's vote was NOT counted, as it was obviously a suspicious account. I do check out someone if they seem kinda fishy, so don't worry about it. Basically I look into anyone who joined in December 2007 with very little to no posts outside of this thread.
And on the topic of the Tie Breaker, I feel that it is a much better way to decide a tie than by flipping a coin. In professional sports, what happens when regulation time expires and the two teams are tied? If they flipped a coin to decide the winner, that would be completely unfair, as the team that won may not have been the best. So instead, they have a shortened period of play time to decide the winner.
The same applies here. Sure, a character may win because they have the most amount of fans online at the time, but that's basically how voting works. Yes, Sonic won yesterday, but that doesn't necessarily make him the most popular character on these boards. He was decided most popular by the people who happened to check out this thread, and the Tie Breaker is along the same lines.
